LWT has apologised for allowing the offensive language to be broadcast, which was somehow overlooked even though the show was pre-recorded, rather than broadcast live.

This incident is just one of many arguably petty complaints regarding "offensive" language, all of which serve to foreground such language far more than it would have been, were it simply left alone. A particularly extreme example of such petty censorship occurred on The Wildhearts' recent UK tour, during which the band's new T-shirts, featuring the motto "Louder Than God, Better Than Fucking", were confiscated by police with a threat of arrest if they continued to be sold.

Right or wrong, those in favour of censorship have the authority of the law at the moment, but equally it seems that they will never really be able to stop artists of all kinds from printing and saying whatever the fuck they like.
